The original announcement isn't clear, but based on the relatively low number of affected devices (there must be hundreds of thousands of these routers in use), it seems that only "savvy" users who enabled forms-based logins on the WAN port may have been affected.

Installing a private key and enabling SSH on a non-default port (as the attackers did) is likely much more secure, if the device absolutely must be accessible, or enabling the VPN -- again with public/private key pairs.

If their government in China had their ass so far in their rectum to refuse global warming as factual, and promoted coal like Trump/GOP did, they would not be doing renewable like crazy.

The more important is not whether it is a democracy or a dictatorial regime, the more important factor was : they are not rejecting basic science.

If both side of the aisle accepted global warming and had the will to fight, you would see the same effort in the US. Unfortunately you have the GOP which is anti science. So instead you get a dead end.

Back in 2008, it was said that within a decades or two the storm surge would rise by a few inch , which would bring them further inland. This one example about how storm surge would be bigger : https://www.sciencedaily.com/r... The problem is that people like him are a bit clueless , they misremember, misinterpret, and then their misinterpretation/misremembering becomes "a failed prediction about global warming". That is, when they are even educated enough to even understand any article about AGW.

You are correct. Shipping per ocean, depending on some factor takes 15 to 30 days. The full weight of the tariff will start 30 days from the announcement - so basically start of may to mid may shipping will again drop down hard.

The irony is that half of the insipid comments are being made by people with 5 digit UIDs.

Nobody has to trust CVEs -- that's the point. They are verifiable and typically there are proofs of concept which are easily testable. People ignore them at their own peril. (Hint, nobody in security ignores CVEs -- on the contrary, they mine them for exploits).

government in terms of number of people employed has shrunk under pretty much every administration

If you did bother looking up FRED statistic you would have seen you are wrong : firstly , ignoring fluctuations, the number of federal employee grew pretty much under all administration from 1950 to 1990 and yes that include Reagan the trend is pretty damn clear. https://fred.stlouisfed.org/se...
Except a little bit at the start the number of federal employee grew under Reagan even right until the end. It dropped a bit only later under bush senior. In fact do you see when the number massively started to drop ? It was end of bush / and all Clinton's presidency.

Facit you and op are wrong. Reagan massively stocked up federal job, under Bush they dropped a bit, then under Clinton the number dropped massively. And it was NOT in any case a "drop" of number of employee after 1950.

The speed increase does not matter, what matters is the energy in case of a collision, especially with people on foot. A car at 40 kmh has about 75% more kinetic energy than one at 30 kmh (40*40/30*30=~1.77). Meaning if you hit another car or a person on foot, you dissipate into them for the collision or braking 75% more energy. What does that mean ? Counting emergency braking+reflex/thinking distance with zero visibility at 30 kmh it is around 20 meter, at 40 kmh this is 30 meter, you literally dwindle survival chance of anybody on foot.

It is an offense to pass by the red light line, once the light turn red. The issue is, dumb fucks see the orange light and see it as a reason to increase speed to pass thru before the red light. That's not how it should work. You are supposed to slow down (if feasible , e.g. you are still far away to not brake brutally) when it is orange and stop at the red light. In practice a huge percentage of people simply keep the same speed or even accelerate when they see the orange, to try to go through the crossroad before the red, and often fail, even when they are far away from the light.

That's how red light camera make money and that's why I am for them - fine the idiot until they learn to respect the lights.

Heck at my street there is a radar camera for speed above 35 kmh. And without fail, all the FUCKERS start going 40kmh and sometimes above after the speed check - we (inhabitant) have put a speed check there and car are nearly never at 30 kmh like they should. And THAT proves to me most car driver are asshole which view road rules as "optional", and I am for adding camera everywhere until they have no chance except respecting the damn road rules.

A car is not a right, it is a privilege given freely as long as one respect the rule.

That's why you will put the minimum federal wage at a living wage level, right ? right ? Nuff said.

You see "US is materially less trustworthy these days" , I beg to differ, see all that shit the US did in its history, Tuskegee experiment, trail of tears and massacre, internement of Japanese, come to WW2 only when attacked, shit with Irak and WMD, CIA impact on south-am, vietnam, and so forth.... I have never seen the US as more trustworthy than your random superpower seeing only its own interest (political and economical) - and nobody's else - they only aligned with ours by accident. And now you see the emperor with cloth, the one I already saw decades ago without cloth. Just sayin'.

Per fortnight.

This made my day. Gen Z gives this geriatric millennial hope for the future.

It just correlate token with others , within a certain context. And then spit out the token with the highest probabilities. There is no thinking.

I think it's a moot point, in that it doesn't matter what we call it, but that said, you're still citing a suicidal individual who isn't thinking clearly. So... perhaps not the most reliable narrator.
